There’s a darkness
Deep inside me
One that I can't shake
An emptiness I can’t fill
A vast void
Without one thing
*
That one thing is you
You are the light
That chases the
Darkness away
That fills the void
That is left by the
Great emptiness
That I feel
*
When you come to me
You light up the dark
You fill my heart with
Such a sweet joy
When you hold me
In your arms
You fill the void
That is left by the
Empty feeling
For you and only you
Are my rock
Are my anchor
Are my other half

Awww, it's so wonderful that you have someone like that in your life! Loved your poem!
Now I know you're not talking about me, Mother, for I have never managed to shed light upon anything or within anyone. But I'm glad you have someone in your life that does.
Great poem! Both tenebrous and happpy! 😬
So beautiful.
